Re: newb Q - starting point
This thread feels like a tech version of the four Yorkshiremen ... =P For those who don't know what I'm talking about ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eDaSvRO9xA Why, I used to get up every morning, scrounge around old electric parts on the dump where we lived and put them together melting old t...

Re: Lost & Found
I've been trying to find a story that I'd read on Stories On Line years ago and since then completely lost everything but a vague idea of the theme. It was about an obese kid who's initials were ELF. Seems that he was the offspring of a queen and a warrior and he was growing up in 'our world'. He w...

Re: Thor's Child -Updated thru Chapter 11
Well, I went into the hospital again on Tuesday, and saw 3 different Opthalmologists, several doctors and countless nurses, but more important, after last week's treatment, I could see enough to type. On top of that I wasn't kept in a darkened room and I was able to bring along a laptop (just as lo...

Re: Links to Good Reading (Part 2)
Have to read Time Spike yet, just what I need more baen crack to get hooked on another author. I now own every one of the Paksenarrion universe books and it all started by harmlessly reading the "free" "Sheepfarmers Daughter' from the "free" library. I am sure Jim is grinni...

Re: Other Authors (RAPINA)
I re-read this earlier in the year. It's a great story concept and I love how it takes time for Rapina to develop magic in a believable way. After about chapter 40 the writing gets much better and then steadily improves every chapter from then on. If there is one good thing that you could say about...

Re: Other Authors (RAPINA)
Anyone know how to get a hold of the author of the Rapina stories? http://www.asstr.org/files/Authors/rapina/www/stories.html If so could you gentle nudge him or her and request another chapter please? Rapina said it was okay to do this - to urge him/her to write. While we wait for Fel's next delie...

Re: Links to Good Reading (Part 2)
If you're a fan of Baen publishing and author John Ringo, I recommend that you check out Ringo's LFD series. Two books in the series so far Live Free or Die and the second Citadel (at present you can only get the ARC - Advance Readers Copy - available on the Baen website) of Citadel however its not...

Re: Thor's Child - updated thru chapter 10
My eyes were feeling better the last day or two and I had no migraines either, which is astounding since it's HOT outside and I have no AC. Anyway, here's chapter 10. Ooh, excellent! And I am glad you are better, Dude. One thing that I am wondering about -- where are Thor's hormones? At his age, I ...

Re: Thor's Child - Chapter 8
...'Sammy' became 'Sami' - which is a change from a normally male specific name to a female specific name. (Actually there is another reason for one of the name changes, but that portion of the story hasn't appeared as yet.) (Actually, Finn might understand the reason for the name change now. - and...

Re: Thor's Child - update to chapter 9
a cliffhanger??? Nope, not really. A cliffhanger ending for the chapter would need a few more words, something like; Tor immediately jumped to his feet and moved in front of the mirror on his closet door, then he gave his idea a try and barely caught himself before celebrating with a loud shout as ...

Re: Thor's Child - Chapter 8
Here's the next installment - Chapter 8 Unfortunately it comes with a warning - I'm getting grinding sounds from my computer hard drive - which is usually bad news. I may be off-line and unable to write for a while. I even tried my best NOT to leave a cliffhanger :wink: Thank you! And good luck wit...

Thanks for another cool installment.GBLW wrote:Here's the next chapter
I must say it did create dramatic suspense.a touch short because after I wrote the last sentence something screamed - STOP.
